The Table Is Set For Democrats And Obama Still Isn’t Pulling It Off

Even driven by the full force of years of Republican ineptitude Barack Obama still can’t pull away from John McCain.

  In the two months since Barack Obama captured the Democratic nomination, he has hit a ceiling in public opinion polling, proving unable to make significant gains with any segment of the national electorate.

  While Obama still leads in most matchups with John McCain, the Illinois senator’s apparent stall in the polls is a sobering reminder to Democrats intoxicated with his campaign’s promises to expand the electoral map beyond the boundaries that have constrained other recent party nominees.

  That gap between expectations and reality comes as Democrats enjoy the most favorable political winds since at least 1976. At least eight in ten Americans believe the nation is on the wrong track. The Republican president is historically unpopular. From stunning Democratic gains in party registration to the high levels of economic anxiety, Obama should have a healthy lead by almost every measure. Yet, in poll after poll, Obama conspicuously fails to cross the 50 percent threshold.

  ABC News Polling Director Gary Langer asked, “If everything is so good for Barack Obama, why isn’t everything so good for Barack Obama?”

Why?  Maybe because Obama is an empty candidate with nothing to offer but nice-sounding platitudes and a groovy, slickly-run campaign?

Exactly correct!! Bullshit bromides and immature sophistry is the essence of the man.

And, God forbid, if U.S. citizens don’t come to their senses and actually elect this buffoon, you can bet that his plaititudes will be immediately tested by our enemies.

Right now, Ahmadinejad and Vladimir Putin are getting complete reports from some very smart spies, including professional evaluations of Barack Obama and his madcap advisors.

Dictators who live by destroying every possible threat are not in the business of getting those things wrong.

As soon as they get the chance, they will push and push until the Obama mirage crumbles.

That’s what the Ayatollah Khomeini did to Jimmy Carter, and Jimmie is still trying to tell the world it never happened. 

It’s what Khrushchev and Castro did to John F. Kennedy. It’s what Kim Jong Il did to Bill Clinton and Madeleine Albright.

Every Democrat president seems to attract the biggest bullies, because they can spot an easy mark a mile away.

Is this your first time?

Nothing matters until September.

Telling one lie or even consistently lying about one subject…doesn’t make you a liar…
